It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby, prepared for the sixth call of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Warren Row and filled petrol in a diesel deep grey Peugeot 508 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
